Default password reset

Be sure it is not a caps lock problem, and everything is
spelt wright.It can work by resetting jumpers but this
depends on your mother board(consult your manual) here is
what i did on my winme & 98, remove the bateries on
motherbaord for a couple of mins and put back. tell me if
it works (you'll have to resedt date &co. afterwards)

Default Re: password reset

If removing the battery cleared your password, you had a different
issue.
Removing the battery may clear the BIOS password but it will do
nothing to the Windows logon password.
